Water: Saurauia originates from humid environments and prefers consistently moist soil, requiring deep watering every 2-3 weeks. As an evergreen, it thrives indoors with higher humidity levels to replicate its tropical habitat, promoting healthy foliage throughout the year.

Propagation: Saurauia propagation mainly uses seed sowing and cuttings, requiring moderate temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining, organic-rich soil. Special care includes filtered light and moisture management. The process involves selecting cuttings, using rooting hormone, and maintaining a humid environment for root development.
